Linn and Guilliman's fleet sailed away from Wrathria and entered the warp.
At this time, the subspace storm has become stronger and stronger, and is gradually tending to block the galaxy.
Guilliman felt a little panicked. His navigator had just reported to him that the star torch located in Holy Terra was dim and seemed to disappear at any time.
He knew exactly what this meant.
Once the light of the star torch disappears, the Milky Way becomes dark again.
Without the guidance of the Star Torch, it is no longer possible for ships to sail long distances in subspace.
Any ship, whether it is a warship or a merchant ship, will lose its sense of direction. Like a small boat that has lost its way and is stuck on the sea, it will be swallowed up by the storm at any time.
When the fleet retreated to Macragge, many navigators discovered to their horror that they could no longer see the light of the Star Torch.
Not only the Star Torch, but also the Astropaths have been unable to receive any communications.
The entire Eastern Galaxy was completely plunged into darkness and was isolated from the Empire.
Even many planets within the five hundred worlds have disappeared from sight.
Guilliman stepped up his efforts to collect all the intelligence, and learned from the news gathered from various places that Luo Jia had led most of the fleet to leave.
But the "Shadow Crusade" is still going on, and not all of the teams he dispersed have left, and many teams still stay in the Five Hundred Worlds to destroy everywhere.
They shuttle through the subspace storm unimpeded and are always one step ahead of the Ultramarines.
"These damn traitors don't seem to be affected by the warp storm!" Guilliman complained to Linn angrily.
Those traitors can sail safely in the storm, but loyalists like myself are in danger when they go out. The navigation is invisible, the communication is cut off, and there are all big and small pits.
"This shows that behind the Horus Heresy, there must be the participation of the evil gods of subspace, or even their single-handed planning!" Lin En took a big bite of the apple and lay down on the seat in front of Guilliman's desk with his legs crossed.
On the chair.
"This subspace storm is not so much summoned by Luo Jia who sacrificed countless people, but rather decided by those evil gods from the beginning. Even if there are not so many sacrifices, the storm that is supposed to come will still come. There is no difference!"
It is often correct to deduce the cause from the results. The appearance of demons and evil gods undoubtedly further proves this speculation.
"But why do these evil gods do this? Before this, we didn't even know they existed in the subspace."
The Emperor has always promoted the "Imperial Truth" and insisted that there is no god in the world. Therefore, all the people of the Empire, including the Primarchs like them, have never known the existence of the evil god of the warp.
Does the emperor know?
Based on Guilliman's understanding of the Emperor, he must know the truth about these evil gods in the subspace, but he said nothing!
He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but things were definitely going in the worst direction.
Lin En concentrated on eating the apple and said nonchalantly: "I don't know why. I'm afraid no one knows except the emperor."
"But you can try to deduce all of this!"
"From the formation of the subspace storm, we can deduce that the rebellion was their conspiracy. Then from the results of the rebellion, can we deduce the reason for their actions?"
Guilliman fell silent. He was already good at sorting out things he was responsible for, and his brain, which could handle hundreds of government affairs at the same time, began to think.
The traitors "summoned" the warp storm, allowing their ships to sail unimpeded, while the loyalists were unable to move forward. Therefore, the evil gods of the warp must support this rebellion.
Can these traitors control the evil god?
Of course it's impossible! From Luo Jia's humility towards the evil god and Angron's fate, we can see that these original bodies are just toys in their eyes.
Therefore, it is very likely that this rebellion was led or even planned by them.
Then the possible consequences of the rebellion are their goals!
What is the result?
The best thing possible is that the results of the Two Hundred Years' Expedition will be destroyed in one fell swoop! The upward trend of human civilization will be completely interrupted!
Thinking of this result, Guilliman couldn't help but feel heartbroken. But this was only the best result, and there was also the worst possibility.
That is when the Emperor dies in battle! The Empire falls apart. Humanity throughout the galaxy returns to the Dark Ages. All humans will be precarious and will be slaughtered and enslaved by all kinds of aliens.
Thinking of this possibility, Guilliman even stopped breathing, his heart filled with despair.
But now they can't even support Terra, they can only wait for the worst outcome to happen.
Linn finished eating the apple, clapped his hands and stood up, "Of course, these are just uncertain guesses, but one thing is certain. From now on, we must consider how to better fight against those demons!"
Nowadays, the Space Marines' combat targets are all rebels or alien races. Enemies like demons have never appeared before.
They must deepen their understanding of them, know their weaknesses, and know how to deal with them. After all, they will most likely encounter them often in the future.
Guilliman nodded clearly, thought for a while and then said hesitantly: "Think tank?"
The Librarian is a special organization within the Space Marine Legion, composed of psykers among the Space Marines. It was originally promoted by Magnus, the primarch of the Thousand Sons, during the Great Crusade.
Some Primarchs also wanted to make full use of the power of psykers in their legions, as the presence of psykers was very common in some legions.
Magnus and several of the Primarchs prescribed a training regimen for the psykers, in addition to the standard Space Marine transformation process.
The Emperor at the time approved this method, and many legions followed suit. In this way, the Think Tank became a powerful force in the Space Marine Legions.
But the good times did not last long. As the Great Crusade progressed, many legions established think tanks. These psykers showed great strength. Of course, the number of out-of-control mutations also gradually increased.
Because of the special characteristics of psykers, once they lose control, the losses will be huge.
Gradually, the opinions of the Primarch on the use of the Think Tank were divided into two groups. One group hoped to expand the scale of the Think Tank and recruit more psykers, while the other group was very fiercely opposed.
Near the end of the Great Crusade, and on the eve of the Emperor's return to Terra from the Great Crusade, he convened the Council of Caenia to discuss the use of the Think Tank.
Finally, the Emperor issued a ruling that all Legions except Navigators and Astropaths were prohibited from using psykers, the Legion's Librarians were disbanded, and all Primarchs were asked not to attempt to use psionic powers again.
This ban became known as the "Kenia Ban".
"So, do you plan to rebuild the think tank?" Linn looked at Guilliman with interest, "I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also plan to violate the emperor's prohibition?"
